TEA TIME....


Hello friends!

It's that time of year again...for planning our ladies annual luncheon.


This year it's TIME FOR TEA!

It's going to be quite different and I'm excited about it...we have eight groups decorating THEIR OWN TABLES!!! (I usually do ALL the planning for the decor)

I am still the over sear and original planner...

but I gave each group a "theme" to use in decorating their table.

They supply a TEA POT for the centerpiece ...the plates and napkins.

also each table is to display a Bible Verse to go with the theme.

These are the themes I chose:

Royal Tea... Music Tea... Winter Tea... Seaside Tea

Summer Tea... Country Tea... Oriental Tea ...Memory Tea

I will be setting up our fellowship hall the usual way but will be making the main theme TIME FOR TEA using the above Tea set and clocks. Just to give you a glimpse!



My mother sent me the sugar and creamer set (in photo) years ago...and when I recently found the TEA POT at TJ Max I was thrilled! I also found two cups that match...I always have a SPECIAL middle table display...which will be decorated with these items.

The verse for this table reads:

The LORD is my portion, saith my soul; therefore will I hope in him.
Lamentations 3:24


This clock is a favorite of mine..also given to me by my dear Mother...she always gives such lovely gifts.


AND....using my grand BLUE AND WHITE collection and beautiful Tea Set my son gave me years ago for the buffet tables. You'll have to come back to view all the photos...

The tea is the day before Mother's Day...

Menu is in the planning stages...YUM!

I'll have so much to share and the many blessings that come each year!!

Please stop by to visit again as I share with you ....TIME FOR TEA!

Blessings to you all,
HOPE

That sounds like a great time!!! I hope that it is lots of fun. I will miss our Mother's Day banquet this year. :( But I always enjoy them. I hope you are doing well.
